What on Earth? # 86: In Honor of a Woman
Hundreds of years ago, this beautiful building, its reflecting pond, and formal gardens were built by a powerful prince, to honor the memory of a woman he had loved.

1. What's the name of this building?
2. Who built this, and who does it memorialize?
3. Where is this located?

OMG, correct, for three points! Congratulations, AnthroGeek!
And here I was, just drooling in anticipation of rudely slamming down anyone daring to identify this, the Bibi Ka Maqbara, as the Taj Mahal, of which it is essentially a half-scale near copy.
